Back in the 70's and early 80's the 'Fizzy' or the
FS1E as its Japanese makers Yamaha called it, was a bike popular with
the teenage yoof of the day. In the year 2014 FS1E are a band of
yesterdays youth refusing to grow old gracefully or otherwise. Their
debut single and theme song, (if I can call it that) fs1e is a blast
of pure post Brit pop prog punk. It roars down memory lane with a
carefree fuck you abandon while also stopping and starting along the
way. (rather like a ride on the back of a fs1e.) It's a road trip
through the past and into the present with no rose tinted motorcycle
goggles on for protection. It's got clever lyrics that observe and
reflect, there's a great Jam reference were down in a tube station in the morning, full of City workers “there's no smell of brown leather, just the
scent of money calling” It's three and a half sublime minutes of
rather brilliant quirky, catchy pop music that could only be Made In
Britain. For 'fans' of XTC, The Stranglers, Blur, The Kinks, and
for anyone that fancies a blast of something fresh and completely different.
Pay No More Than 79p. Available from I-Tunes and Amazon.

“Life is so short for everyone. Never
mind! What might have been is what you've
seen,what you've done. Life is so short for everyone. Get out
there and have some fun!” - FS1E

Charlie Harper and Knox, a couple of
inspirational people to me, not just back in the day when I was a
kid, nearer to fifteen than fifty, but also in the now. Through out
the years they have provided a soundtrack to my life. For over
thirty years they have kept the faith and the punk rock flame burning
with their respective bands the UK Subs, The Vibrators and when they
join forces as the Urban Dogs.

During the Nineties New Wave Of New
Wave/Brit-Pop/Dance Culture when Rave was being called the New Punk,
The UK Subs and The Vibrators soldiered on with campaigns on home
soil and in foreign climes, keeping the real Punk Rock fire alight,
when a lot of people had left the camp.

The whole New Labour Retro-Lution of
re-branding, re-packaging and re-selling the past saw record labels
releasing back catalogues and collections of demos and rarities by
classic punk bands on CD, more fuel for the fire; as older Punk
Rockers re-discovered their youth and a whole new generation of kidz
picked up on the past and used it to influence their present.

During the Noughties both The Vibrators
and UK Subs have released some of their best albums; Under The Radar
and On The Guest List from the 'brators and Work In Progress and
XXIV from the Subs, and lets not forget the sublime and superb Urban
Dogs acoustic album Bonefield.

Thirty eight years since Punk Rock
exploded in the faces of a generation of bored teenagers and boring old people the fire is raging bright; With new bands like The Reverends, The
Derellas, Electric River, Deadcuts, The November Five, Continental Liasion all possessing
the punk rock spirit sound or sentiment. We've also seen the return
of bands like The Fits, The Outcasts and The Mob. Then there are new
albums from veterans Chelsea and The Boys due out soon, and lest we forget GLM. I'm
only scratching the surface here, because there are also hundreds more
bands young and old out there in bedrooms, garages and rehearsal rooms
across this land bashing out a punk rock beat. One such young group
are A-M-I who haven't just got the punk rock spirit and sound they
have punk in their blood, as guitarist Marley Perez is Charlie
Harpers grandson, who had a song Baby Marley written about him on the
third Urban Dogs album Wipeout Beach. If A-M-I continue as long as
the Subs or Vibrators than I'll slip into death or dementia happy in
the knowledge that punk rock will never ever die.

Captain Oi Records, have been
responsible for compiling and packaging many of the classic punk CD
re-releases. A couple of their recent releases have been by Charlie
Harper and the Urban Dogs. Charlie s 1982 solo album Stolen Property
is what it says on the tin. A bunch of other peoples including
Chuck Berry, Lou Reed, and Bo Diddley tunes plus a couple of Harper
originals are given a dirty punk rock blues makeover. Timeless
stuff!.

No Pedigree by Charlie and Knox's side
project the Urban Dogs was originally released in 1985. Their self
titled debut album was a full throttle Rock'n'Roll assault. No
Pedigree is a darker, broodier Rock'n'Roll attack with the songs
slowly throbbing and thumping their way into your head. Brilliant
stuff!

Further proof that the past becomes the
present can be heard on the fourth Urban Dogs album Bonefield
(released in 2012) with its Stolen Property acoustic blues vibe. The
'experimental' phazed garage fuzz of No Pedigree can be heard on the
Too Much Reality EP that Charlie Harper and Captain Sensible released
in 2013..

Stolen Property and No Pedigree are
available from Captain Oi Records, but be quick cos there are only
500 of each available. Bonefield by the Urban Dogs and Charlie Harper
and Captain Sensible's Too Much Reality EP are available from Time and Matter Recordings, as is A-M-I' s debut album Anti Meat Head Inc.
Respect to Captain Oi and Time and Matter Recordings for keeping the
fire burning especially at a time when fuel prices are high. Given
the choice of turning the heating on or buying a CD...I'd put another
jumper on and pogo to keep warm!DON'T GROW UP BEING BORED OR GROW OLD BEING BORING!

In the wake of today’s Local and
European elections in Britain and in preparation for the wave of next
years General Election, lets hear it for The Right Not 2 Vote, or
possibly the right to vote NO!....A big fat X in a box that says
“None of the above” (because they are all a bunch of kunts who
are gonna fuck the people when they get into power.) Defaced ballot
papers aren't, as far as I'm aware counted in the results, so no one
knows how many people didn't believe there was anyone worth voting
for. How many more people might vote if they were able to say NO! A
right to vote means nothing if you can't cast it because you don't
believe in the politics of any of the parties standing. It might
even be against a persons Human Rights, I wonder what Brussels would have
to say about it. Perhaps it's time people were given the choice; to
become a number and stand up to be counted!. Lets see how many
people are up for a revolution! How many signatures/hits does an
online facebook petition need before the question has to be brought
to parliament? Probably a Monster Raving Loony of an idea....but....just a thought!

Anti- EU feelings are growing in
Britain as we approach the elections for the European Parliament. In
many other European countries, far right parties are gaining support,
with their anti immigration one trick pony. Imagine Brussels filled
with right wing MEP's of all nationalities united as one. Supporting
UKIP and their ilk is the first step toward toward a jackboot
European Fascist Superstate elected through policies which target
other human beings and makes scapegoats of them. They always need us
to have someone to blame, because United we stand, Divided they rule!

Nigel Farage, nice British name!
Married to a German, who's also his secretary, uses Eastern Europeans
to deliver leaflets, and has made his wealth from being a Member of
the European Parliament. This man should have died in a helicopter
crash a few years back, but no....he walked away. Never mind having
an egg thrown at him, it should have been a brick! He smokes fags
and drinks beer, so he must be a man of the people, someone who
understands them. No! What he understands is the people and how to
play on their fears and ignorance, with no sense of being the
hypocrite that he is.

Do we believe what the media tells us?
Statistics are massaged and manipulated left right and centre to suit
who evers political ends. Stories are blown out of all proportion,
there may be some truths amongst the fiction, but the fact is that it
is all propaganda designed and developed to win the hearts and minds
of people that don't have a heart, or a mind to think for
themselves!..

Take Abu Hamza, or Captain Hook as he
was refereed to by the media. If stories are to be believed, it
would appear that he was working for the British police and Secret
Services. If this is true than perhaps the reason he was able to
stay in Britain for so long wasn't because of Human Rights laws as
the media told people, but because he was a servant for the Great
British State. One day the truth will out, just like it has over the
'War on Terror', no wait up, it hasn't yet because there are delays
in publishing the Chilcott Enquiry into the war in Iraq.

Is it a coincidence that the EU Human
Rights culture exploded during the New Labour Blair years, and that
Tony’s wife Cherie happens to be a lawyer who specialises
in....Human Rights! Is it another coincidence that during the same
time Britain became so dumbed down and de-skilled that it needed to
rely on foreign labour to do the work that British workers didn't
want or couldn't do.

The only people to blame are the
politicians, so when it comes time to cast your vote just remember
that they are all a bunch of cunts and the only people they seek to
serve are themselves!

The DeRellas stick it to the man and
kick ya ass with their new album SLAM! BAM! Twelve tracks of no
nonsense fuck you 'Glam Stomping, Punk Rock Pogoing Rock'n'Roll.'
No difficult second album for these guys; The DeRellas are loaded
with an arsenal of anthems all waiting to blow yer brains out. From
start to finish SLAM! BAM! Is a no frills thrill of a ride on the
Rock'n'Roller-coaster. The Heartbreakers meet The Clash in a
switchblade street fight, good time Rock'n'Roll doesn't get much
better, this.is real solid gold easy action Play loud and wake up
the zombie nation! SLAM! BAM! is out now on Crushworld Records.
You'd be a mutha fucker not to check it out!

Once again I find myself staring at a
blank screen with an as yet untitled document open. I have a
notebook with some words scribbled in pen that don't make much sense
at the moment, they are just pointers to somewhere, dunno where, but
lets get going and see where we end up. .

International Workers day of
Revolution! UP THE WORKERS! Yeah, we get it shoved up us everyday
of the working week! Work is a fucking pain in the arse!

A perpetual state of turmoil from one
disaster to another disaster. Scandal after scandal, another cover
up by those in power is exposed. These people run and control our
country and our lives, and they cannot control themselves, they are
responsible for so much and take responsibility for so little, they
lie and cheat, pass judgement and watch our every move. Drones watch
the drones you've been framed on CCTV. for Saturday night Prime time
entertainment. Laughing at others misfortune makes others feel more
fortunate. Watching others misery makes them feel less miserable
about the useless lives that they lead.

The totalitarian democracy we are
living in is an all encompassing machine that destroys the old and
calls it progress. We have no real say, they talk of community as
they kill it off with bedroom taxes and regeneration, when all it is
is wealth creation.

The NHS is sick a slow death by
statistics and internal markets, same with all the public services.
No one looks at the bigger picture, they just see their little part
in it. Strangled by red tape and petty bureaucracy health and safety
madness that takes away any responsibility from anyone for their
actions. No wonder no one takes responsibility, they don't know how
to. An accident or injury? should have taken more care, no it was
someone else’s fault. We learn by mistakes, no one is perfect but
people want things to be perfect even in an imperfect world if we
make no mistakes how do we learn The Modern World teaches us nothing
it shows us and tell us everything how to think and what to think.
It defines us then divides us. It keeps us in control by giving us
no control. People are becoming programmed machines not human beings
directed everywhere by sat nav everything controlled by a mobile
phone. Blue tooth, blue ray, when I was a kid the only blue
entertainment were films. Now I'm, older if I want to see a bunch of
cunts on my TV screen I just turn to the BBC's parliament channel the
House of Commons is full of 'em.

The pied piper plays the tune as people
follow blindly to the death camps they call home, flat packed and
semi detached living for those that think they are free when all they
are is slaves detached from reality living in a virtual world of one
click shopping same day delivery. Patience another human skill
becomes lost in the then and now, now, now! Money back guarantees
for people that don't have the money cos it's all on credit. Home
owners, owned by their homes and chained to the machine working
overtime cos they've over spent. Too blind to see past the
smokescreens and illusions and too deaf to hear anything else except
the Pipers Tune

The Big Lie, tell people they are free
enough times because they are living in a democratic country with the
right to vote and they will believe it show them military
dictatorships in other countries to reinforce the believe that if you
haven't got a gun held to your head you must be free. Well I've got
news for you, the guns held to our head is fear. The fear of
repossession, unemployment, the fear of having nothing after the
bailiffs have been. People are owned by what they own, defined by
what they have and motivated by what they haven't got, and what they
want what they don't need, not that they know that, because they have
been brainwashed into thinking that they are free because they have
freedom of choice and a right to buy whatever they choose..

Dumbing down the dumb. Too blind to
see / Too thick to think What is that fucking stink? I love the
smell of bullshit in the morning, papers!

In the beginning is the scream. We scream.

"When we write or when we read, it is easy to forget that the beginning is not the word, but the scream. Faced with the mutilation of human lives by capitalism, a scream of sadness, a scream of horror, a scream of anger, a scream of refusal: NO." - John Holloway

The Wall

"There was a wall. It did not look important. It was built of uncut rocks roughly mortared; an adult could look right over it, and even a child could climb it. Where it crossed the roadway, instead of having a gate it degenerated into mere geometry, a line, an idea of boundary. But the idea was real.........Like all walls it was ambiguous, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on." -Ursula Le Guin (In The Dispossessed)

‘Excuse me,’ they cry, ‘you can’t fight it; twice two is four! Nature doesn’t ask you about it; she’s not concerned with your wishes or with whether you like her laws or not. You must take her as she is, and consequently all her results as well. I mean to say, a wall is a wall, etc. But good God! What have the laws of nature and arithmetic to do with me, when for some reason I don’t like those laws or twice two? Naturally I shan’t break through the wall with my head, if I’m really not strong enough, but I wont be reconciled to it simply because it’s a stone wall and I haven’t enough strength to break it down. - Fyodor Dostoyevsky (In Notes From Underground)

BROTHERS IN ARMS

Revolution is alive'n'kicking in 2007 Britain, courtesy of 'crackpot Cornish extremists' AKA The Cornish National Liberation Army who are taking their fight to the owners of second homes who come from out of the county. Dunno 'bout that gun though, only damage it looks like it could do is to themselves.

'I myself believe, perhaps on insufficient grounds, that the common man will win his fight sooner or later, but I want it to be sooner and not later - some time within the next hundred years, say and not some time within the nest ten thousand years.' - George Orwell (Homage to Catalonia,1938)

The powers that have for centuries been engaged in enslaving the masses have made a thorough study of their psychology. They know that the people at large are like children whose despair, sorrow and tears can be turned into joy with a little toy. And the more gorgeously the toy is dressed, the louder the colors, the more it will appeal to the million-headed child. - Emma Goldman (Anarchism and Other Essays)

'It was not desirable that the proles should have strong political feelings. All that was required of them was a primitive patriotism which could be appealed to whenever it was necessary to make them accept longer working-hours or shorter rations. And even when they became discontented, as they sometimes did, their discontent led nowhere, because without general ideas, they could only focus it on petty specific grievances.' - George Orwell (1984)

'Like Anthony, she wished at times that she had not been presented with this sudden freedom of choice. It had felt safer, when they had been blinkered by sickening anxiety, walking the narrow path, unable to risk a glance to right or left. Now, they stood in a flat and featureless plain, older, wiser but somehow diminished.' - Margaret Drabble (Ice Age)

'The formula works. He stumbled on the first and last truth about the leisure society, and perhaps all societies. Crime and creativity go together, and always have done. The greater the sense of crime, the greater civic awareness and richer the civilisation. Nothing else binds a community together. It's a strange paradox.' - J.G Ballard (in Cocaine Nights)

The proletarian dictatorship...has today grown into a frightful despotism and a new imperialism, which lags behind the tyranny of Fascist states in nothing. - Rudolf Rocker(1973)

'Brothers and SistersI wanna see a sea of hands out there.Let me see a sea of hands.I want everybody to kick up some noise.I wanna hear some revolution out there, brothersI wanna hear a little revolution.Brothers and sisters, the time has comeFor each and every one of you to decideWhether you are gonna be the problem,Or whether you are gonna be the solution.You must choose, brothers, you must choose.It takes 5 seconds, 5 seconds of decision.Five seconds to realize that it's time to move.It's time to get down with it.Brothers, it's time to testify and I want to know,Are you ready to testify?Are you ready?I GIVE YOU A TESTIMONIAL, THE MC5 !!!!'
